Moana - Art School Journey

[prinzmoana]

@snakker thank you, I really try to keep it up 💪

@Sthingz honestly I don't even know xD I never looked up artist for gesture drawing, but for other stuff like color, light, composition, design and so on. Probably this style just developed due to a lot of gesture drawing practice and anatomy study ^.^

Speaking of gesture drawing... xD
Here are some more gestures and the room 😄

---

Actually I've planned a little bit more with this room, but... yeah x)
I had enough of it and wanted to move on x'D
Maybe I will develop it further down my journey, but for now I wanted to come back to the actual Art School Program again ^^

--

So next thing I will work on, is the corner building assignment from term 1 perspective. Besides that I'll finally move on to anatomy lesson of term 2 xD

[snakker]

Awesome room, really tells a story I wonder what es aped that pod…

Cheers!

[mitsuki-youko]

Woah that looks super cool!

[gellenvera]

That's a super cool room, I love the storytelling it has! Also your gestures improved a lot as I scrolled through your journey, keep up the great work!

[prinzmoana]

@snakker
Yeah we never know... or will we? 👀😂

@mitsuki-youko
Thank you 🙏 I'm very glad you like it 😄

@gellenvera
Man it's amazing to hear that 🥳
Bc they're so repetitive that it's kinda hard sometimes to keep up with them xP But at least it pays off 😁

---

For the room, I've noticed there was a mistake, so I changed it, bc it bothered me haha
Here goes the new version:

And some exercises of the last few days ^^

[snakker]

I like your cubes the composition ended up being quite interesting

I can imagine them being a lot of things, maybe someone hiding behind the tall rectangular one while a star destroyer is flying above and a patrol of speeder troopers is coming from way back in some star wars universe story

cheers!

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh really loving your shading on everything!

[Lockenheim]

Love your towo tone study! I love doing these they are so fun and I feel like I learn so much!

[prinzmoana]

Here are just some exercises from the last days :}

Wish you all a good journey 😄

[snakker]

These gestures are awesome

[Lockenheim]

Gestures are looking great!

[prinzmoana]

I made some exercises to prepare for the anatomy lesson, and it was actually harder than I thought xD So I will repeat them until I'm comfortable and then move on 😄

Perspective:

Deformation:

Connection:

And I've noticed, when I'm uncomfortable with an exercise my line quality automatically sucks haha So I have to work on that too 😵‍💫🤣

[snakker]

Yoo those deformations are actually very good, nice job on the cylinders, the ovals in perspective look very good, and I think doing iterations with slight variations are some of the most helpful things I've gotten to doing in art so far - like in the twisted elongated cube exercise

[mitsuki-youko]

eyy i rly like these deformations! the ones with color look especially good

For lineart, i used to hate my lineart too lmao - what i found to be helpful (imo) is to make your brush smaller like a 2.5-ish so you can make nice thin lines then thicken them up if needed otherwise it may look too bulky to beign with. and i think its helpful to adjust your brush so that with low pen pressure, the line is thinner and with high pen pressure the brush is thicker. if you press rly hard like i do lol set the thicker setting smaller (ie not massive) so when you press you wont automatically get a blob haha

[Lockenheim]

Nice twisty boxes! Those arn't easy!

[CYP2C19]

Those square Twizzlers look so good!, And all your perspective studies are seriously amazing!.

[prinzmoana]

Heyyy people 👋
Long time no posting, because I was a bit ill the last days 🤧
Nothing bad tho, I'm already getting better 😁

@snakker thank youuu, yeah these iterations were very helpful and I will definitely do some more ^.^

@mitsuki-youko thank you for advice I think I will try to use thin lines first and then thicken them up 🤔 Often I'm just too lazy to draw things twice 🤭
But I know I have to do that sometimes xD

@Lockenheim Thank you 🙏 I thought the same when I was drawing them xD
For some reason the boxes were way harder to draw then cylinders

@CYP2C19 Thank you, these were also my favorites :}

---

Like I've said I didn't do that much, but here are some the studies ^^

--

Hopefully I'll manage to post more often/regular again :}
Wish y'all a wonderful journey 😄

[snakker]

This is all looking great!

[mitsuki-youko]

dat building is so pretty!

[CYP2C19]

Welcome back!, glad to hear you're feeling better than you did, and as usual your perspective studies are absolutely amazing.
